    On fridays after the Saints match 3-10 pints depending on the result

    The same on Saturday nights, but depending on how much I had the night before

    Don't drink midweek anymore. (unless special occasion) Not able to get up for work next day

    6 or 7 pints in a week. All on a weekend. No shots, no wine, no cocktails. Just pints.

    Very little usually (drank bucketloads last weekend though)

    Might have a glass of wine with dinner a couple of times a week.
    Can't do the pub on worknights anymore, pay too heavy a price.
    Usually drive to matches/gigs so wouldn't drink at them often.
    Depending who I'm out with it's usually two/three pints and a chat if I do head to the pub, a sign I'm getting old now

    You say that as if it's something you're striving to become.


    Health-wise the recommendation is 14 units for women, 21 units for men.

    These days I stick to beer. A couple of pints every second night, maybe a couple more the weekend.

    I brew my own, and will have about 40 pints of stout ready in a couple of weeks, but I'll take my time drinking it.

    Don't drink during the week - coming into work with a hangover is not for me - and gave it up for Lent (and kept it!!) but now I'm back on the sauce, an average night is 6-8 pints, and maybe a shot or 2 of vodka.

    Do you find if you have not drank a drink in over 7 days you long for one?

    A couple of bottles of wine a week easy.

    If I go out with work, it used to be 5 or 6 pints on a Thurs and/or Friday night, then out after that on the vodka. But I came home in so wasted so many times, Ive cut back.

    This week will be alot worse though, work are taking us out for the day for hitting target and are paying.
    Last time this happened there was an awful lot of drink involved, but its good fun

    Without a doubt. Last night, I hadn't drank in 2 days. I was thirsty for pints of Guinness after the match. Therefore, I went for scoops with other foot.ie users $Leon$, Don Vito, theGreenHen, and Dolby126. And yes, Don and Dolby got on like a house on fire.

    I just basically drink until closing so average about 8 pints a night. Go out 2/3 times a week. I would be pretty impossible for me to drink 5 pints unless i'm going home at about 11. A lot of you seem to drink the spirits, can't hack that stuff.

    a lot of people find you can only drink so much beer/guinness etc on a night out and then you need a change to keep going.

    12th man according to an old t-shirt of mine -you're not an alcoholic til you start going to meetings.
    Til then -you're maybe a drunk, a souse, a lug, a lushy ....

    but heh I aint lecturing...

    probably 20-ish pints a week and a bottle or two of wine.
    Quit spirits years ago as I was a mean b a stard on the whiskey. not funny. not talking it up. not glorifying it -I was just just a mean messy fecker.

    I get those cramps in my side too that pronane mentioned. It's your liver literally heaving under the strain.

    Emmm...... after wanderers matches i'd go for 4 or 5 in the hibo. Saturdays i'd have 4-6 pints before heading clubbing. Where i'd have 10 vodkas and red bulls( buy them in 2's , it's cheaper) , and a couple of shots of the sweet sambuca!!! Depending on the occasion. Only drink Friday and Saturdays... Very rarely during the week!!! Only if United are playing a very important game!!!

    Seems very moderate on here so far

    i normally do 2 nights a week (Fri&Sat - cant handle the next day, so very rare for me to venture out midweek)...

    Id say id drink 8-11 pints per night with a few halfs thrown in. Depends though...i drunk thur/fri/sat/sun/mon over Easter.

    When we travel to Dublin for example, theres a good 6-8 cans in there before the bar before the game....we usually end up in Ardee until 2am before arriving back to Derry at 4.30/5am

    Would you remember your whole night though? I could drink as much as I wanted if I was drinking a pint ever 45-60 minutes but if I wanted to enjoy myself and have a pint ever half hour I'd be blanked out after only my 8th. I still continue drinking and am told I still seem fine.

    The thing with me though is that I don't get drunker and drunker. I just feel the same all the way up to my 8th or 9th pint and blank out at some stage. If I concentrated really hard for the whole night I wouldn't blank out but thats never going to happen. I am 22 have been drinking for 10 years now week in week out so have probably wrecked some organ in my body.
